Course Overview

Become a creative and critical writer, learning from award-winning staff on a course with 100% student satisfaction. Follow your interests in story, literature and creativity – immersing yourself in great literary works while developing your own creative writing skills.

The mixture of English Literature and Creative Writing will help you become both a critical and creative writer.

You’ll develop skills in different writing strands – including prose, poetry and drama – both from a creative and critical perspective. As you progress you can explore specialisms like transgressive writing, crime fiction, sci-fi and American literature.

We’re a close-knit community and our students benefit from a high level of support. The course includes a mix of lectures, seminars and one-to-one tutorials – all taught by professional authors and critics. In lectures, you’ll learn the fundamentals of good writing by studying the greats, both classic and contemporary. In workshops, you’ll develop your own stories, plays, novels and poems. Regular writing workshops mean you can share your work with peers and get their feedback.
